A lev secret organisation OF labor,
known as 1.-THE Brotherhood" and in
many respects similar to the Knights Of
Labor, has been formed in BOSTON, and
has already grown to considerable proper
tions. The Brotherhood has been in ex-
istence now over a year, and has gradually
extended until it has established local
councils in many OF the cities and towns in
the New England States. It's organization
is kept a profound secret. The order does
not believe in strikes, and uses the ballot
and cooperative institutions as the weap-
ons of warfare.

A fit illustration is the news that was wired
the world over that the frightful railway
disaster in Illinois last week was the work
of a gang of robbers whose motive was

that the burning of the bridge was due to
the carelessness OF the employees of the
road and tn tmany valuables supposed to
have been stolen are being unearthed from
the debris. Some n is to blame for the
fearful loss of life and should be made to

The distressing sneeze. sneeze sneeze, the acrid watery discharges from the eyes and nose. the painful inflammation extending to the throat the swelling of the mucous lining causing choking sensations. cough, ringing noises in the head and splitting headaches-how familiar these symptoms are-to thousands who suffer periodically from head colds or influenza and who live in ignorance of the fact that a single application of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CArARRH will afford instantaneous relief.
 But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this remedy will do in the chronic forms, where the breathing is ob- structed by choking putrid mucous accumulations, the hearing affected smell and taste gone, throat uicerated and hacking cough gradually fastening
 itself upon the debitated system Thenit is that the marvellous curative power of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE manifests itself in instantaneous and grateful relief Cure begins from the first application. Itis rapid, radical, permanent, economical, safe.

Friss has left town.

T TIlSS AdS 1Clb lOWu The game between the New Ravens and Danburys which was postponed yesterday on account of rain will be played next Monday at Danbury. Fitzgerald and Egan, battery from Waterbury, will probably be given a trial in that game.
 Dyer will be signed to-day to play third base, and thus one of the weak spots of the team will be strengthened. Dyer was the short stop of the champion Meridens two years ago, and last year signed to play in Hartford but refused to play under Remsen and so laid off during the season. He kept in practice, however, by playing with the Resolutes, the strongest amateur nine in the State, and has been playing third base for them this season. He is strong batter, and will be decided acquisition to the New Ha- vens.
 Lea1y and Murphy will be the battery in to-day's game with the Watsrburys. Dyer will play third base or short stop, and Maher short stop third base. Maher will pitch to morrow at Waterbury. Manager Kelly has made "Dasher" Troy captain and Troy will appoint captain of the outfeld.

NOT DECREASING.
Continued Growth And Increase o1
 The UniversaIfst Denomination.

Continued Growth And Increase o1
 The UnfversaIfst Denominations.
 JUNE 1, 1887. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 In recent issue of your paper, which I daily read with interest, and usually with satisfaction, there was some mention of vari- ous religious denominations, and among them the Universalists. The statement was made that the denomination was decreasing, and write to state that such statement is contrary to fact. It is very evident that the principles of Universalism (the distinguish ing tenet of our church especially, i. @. the certainty of the full accomplishment of Christ's mission in the regeneration of all seuls) are being accepted more and more ln all other churches, but it is also true that demominationally we more than "hold our own."
 In proof of this allow me to call the atten- tion of your readers to the following official declaration of the secretary of our general convention, Rev. G. l.. Demarest, D. b., made in December, 1886. Dr. Demarest says:
 many encouraging particulars. The statistical re- ports furnished to the 6y the Sfate n seGre Number of parishes. ........--..--- - 90O Number Of families. 3I .5UI Number of church members. 35,214 Sunday school membership. 51,T79 Property less debt ....-..- .......... $7,112,S1 Expenses and contributions. ........ S950,4 ,42s This shows increase in every line: In parishes, per cent. in families 115 per cent. in church mem bership, 6 per cent; in Sunday school membership 3 per cent; in net amount of church property, 313 per cent. in expense and contributions, nearly 10 per cent.
 By this reliable statement it will be per ceived that the article which called forth this response was incorrect. No doubt it's author, as a lover of truth, will be glad to have the facts made known, that the mis- take may thus be Iectifed.
